Mets general manager Billy Eppler resigned from his position, the team announced on Thursday. The news comes just days after New York officially hired David Stearns as their new President of Baseball Operations.
“I wanted David to have a clean slate and that meant me stepping down,” Eppler said in a statement. “I hope for nothing but the best for the entire Mets organization.”
Eppler, who previously spent time as the Angels general manager from 2015 to ’20, was originally hired by New York after the 2021 season. In two years as the general manager, Eppler oversaw a team that went 176–148 and made the Wild Card round last year.
